Castle Blood 1.1 has been released, addressing a number of suggestions and problems brought up by players all around.   There are not too many changes, but the gameplay varies rather significantly (especially lategame).   Enjoy!

Changes:

[1.1]
 - by pftq
 - January 4 2007 - January 13 2007
 - Cleaned up script a bit
 - Explorers granted in beginning of game, but Town Centers not buildable until later.
 - Longbowmen Guard and later techs enabled.
 - Final looping award randomized between Mediocre Bombard, Learicorn, and Fluffy
 - Fort techs and SOME fort units enabled for Natives.
 - 2 pilgrims at 15000 XP award, 5 pilgrims at 25000 XP
 - Livestock Pens disabled
 - Petards disabled
 - XP check that removes sudden 15000 XP gains (when cheat units die)

        Fort Wars and Castle Blood Ladders have been updated with an even better search feature.   Games can now be searched for winning and losing player (look up how many matches have occured between players etc).   Enjoy!

        While fixing it up for use by Paperfriend on his guides library, I added many new updates and features - and might as well update my main code as well.

        Updates include: Cookie-based log in (remembers info) and log out, smarter search engine (can also search all fields and highlights results), shows number of results, ability to hide/show certain details, full bbcode support, etc.

        The new ladders that counts FFA and has many more viewing options is now up and replaced the old ones.

        A few new features are filtering by game type, skipping to certain days to view games, etc.

        Also the ladders now use the XML feeds, which should be faster (although it seems to be somewhat more error prone).   Let me know if you find any problems.

        Following a few random requests, I slightly modified the current Fort Wars Ladder script to accomadate for Castle Blood games as well.

        Here’s a quick Castle Blood Ladder for those interested.
